Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the field-dependent T₁-relaxation and T₁-contrast imaging of ferrofluids using high-T_c superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-detected nuclear magnetic resonance and imaging in low magnetic fields, where T₁ is the spin-lattice relaxation time. It was found that the 1/T₁ of ferrofluids increases when the prepolarization field increases. We attribute this to the enhanced magnetic-field gradients generated from the induced magnetization that accelerates the T₁-relaxation more in a high strength of fields in comparison to a low strength of fields. Using phantoms with different relaxation times, the T₁-contrast images are demonstrated in low magnetic fields, which can be promising for discriminating tumors.
